From the paragraph above, should we use "...where the components may
be written using any of a wide range of technologies..." to allow for
script/dynamic languages, and other technologies such as BPEL, etc ?
I think changing "programming languages" to "technologies" is an improvement.
This language would also encompass declarative components like XQuery.
I wonder if we could shorten this just a little. How about:
"...establish a Project Management Committee charged with the creation
and maintenance of open-source software for distribution at no charge
to the public, that simplifies the development, deployment and management
of distributed applications built as compositions of service components.
These components may be implemented with a range of technologies and
connected using a variety of communication protocols. This software will
implement relevant open standards including, but not limited to, the
SCA and SDO standards defined by the OASIS OpenCSA member section."

Having both the last two sentences start "This software will..." doesn't
sound perfect to me so if we are able to move the "for distribution
at no
charge..." bit up to the top that seems better, which gives:

OpenCSA group.
That first sentence is starting to get quite long but unless anyone
can come
up with some better wording I could live with that.
...ant
I'm sorry, but I don't find this wording at all convincing. I suspect
that most people would be mystified by the section:
"distributed applications composed of independently acting, loosely
coupled, linguistically heterogeneous components connected using any
of a wide range of communication technologies"
So, let me try another version, which turns out to be longer, but I
hope that it is easier to comprehend. I also explicitly mention SCA
and SDO since these are two core standards that are implemented by
Tuscany.

Yours, Mike.
This version looks better to me. I was a little mystified by the
"linguistically heterogeneous" part as well :) I like the "built as
compositions of service components" which describes well what we do in
Tuscany and the fact that you explicitly mention the SCA and SDO standards.
